Risky Bulletin: France takes first steps to ditch Windows for Linux
The French government has begun migrating away from Windows to Linux, starting with DINUM (French Inter-Ministerial Directorate of Digital Affairs), which serves as the unofficial IT department for government agencies. The migration is intended as a pilot to test large-scale transition feasibility, and other French ministries have pledged to develop their own migration plans.
Why it matters: Security practitioners supporting French government entities or European infrastructure should prepare for potential shifts in OS support requirements and European technology alternatives, which may affect procurement, patch management, and vendor relationships.
